The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WIN at none against Esteemly's 8. WIN also leads on ratings volume (49 vs 3). Esteemly's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
